Gee the christian right are pushing the trans thing with the shooting aren't they?

I suppose they know that trans people are killed a lot more often than they kill in the US? Probably due to christian ideology driven hate crimes.

But crudely analysing the murder rate, on average your kids will be safer with a trans storyteller than a cis one. But conservatives in the US aren't for sitting on their hands after a tragedy when they can be out there spreading false narratives to support their bigotry.

Excellent points. In times of traumatic events, people naturally want quick knee-jerk answers and will focus on the 'other' or what's uncommon when making accusations. Sometimes race, ethnicity, religion, class, mental health &c are blamed. I've not seen, for example, any notes on the problems of Christian charter schools with former students who are willing to murder kids. Whatever the shooter's problems, they were related to her experiences at that school, coupled with the ease with which she could obtain assault weapons.

Are you serious? The entire media except maybe Fox News is obsessed with making Christians, white people, men, Republicans, rednecks, and boomers look like Nazi Germany on steroids.

Perhaps they shouldn't act like Nazis on steroids.

But seriously: responsible news media is not divisive, which is part of the charters of the better news channels. 'Fox News' is officially registered as an entertainment company so that they cannot be blamed for spreading false information (as they do).

And to answer your question: Yes I am serious - no one is questioning the potential problems with Christian charter schools that use our tax dollars to teach the bible to school children, at the expense of facts, history, science &c. What the shooter has done is an Old Testament act: to bring wrath and death upon those she didn't approve of. (I say that as a Christian.)

Lol no. She was convinced by overly online troons that she was going to be genocided just because she liked having short had and thought she was not like other girls. Very much like the propaganda the actual nazis used to justify war and genocide.

There's no evidence and no pattern of similar activity and not plausible (that trans people feel they'll be genocided because they like short hair).

Sure, that's why schools teach atheism as fact, ban prayer, and fiercly oppose anything coming from Christianity. The Christian nationalists totally control it.

Not what's in the curriculum, which also reflects the extremely important separation of church and state. Public grade schools have been required to avoid promoting any religion. Under the Trump admin, Davos (corrupt AF) shifted taxpayer money away from public schools to Christian charter schools, thereby breaking the law regarding the separation of church and state. All theocratic governments reduce the quality of life and promote division.

The Christian nationalists totally control it.
